1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionThe research aimed to assess the linkages between alcohol propensity and stress and coping styles among Poles during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project also focused on investigating the significance of differences in alcohol propensity, taking into account selected sociodemographic characteristics. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 1246 people (23.93 ± 2.88 y.o.) participated in the research, including 928 women (23.84 ± 2.89 y.o.) and 318 men (24.21 ± 2.85 y.o.). A self-administered questionnaire, CISS, PSS-10 and AUDIT were used for the study. The statistical procedures used the Pearson correlation coefficient, as well as the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.

resultsPositive correlations were found between the intensity of stress symptoms and emotional style in female and male groups. Among adults, factors contributed to high-intensity of alcohol propensity included: male gender, childlessness, living in cities of more than 100.000 inhabitants, people with secondary education, lack of a close personal relationship or being in a partnership, as well as a professional situation related to occasional or casual employment.

conclusionsAlcohol consumption is associated with an emotion- and avoidant-oriented stress-coping styles. 39% women and 43% men of the surveyed were among those at risk of developing alcohol addiction. It implies that the age group remains one of the social groups most exposed to the development of alcohol use disorders. Such situation requires development of prevention programmes that take into account the needs of young people.
